Re: Walmart instant denial :(

So far with my apps to any GE backed card my actual score didn't matter, it's the fact I have 2 collections and a judgement. I also had ZERO open revolving CC's until this past month. Just an auto loan with perfect payment history for a year so far. Even with other apps it's for certain reasons, it seems scores a lot of times mean nothing. I have seen people with lower scores than me get approved for things I can't get.

So true! This is why collections stink. I always kick myself when looking at them on my credit report - like, what were you thinking!?

Re: Walmart instant denial :(

I totally don't get Walmart. I have been denied twice. The only negative on my report is 2 paid collections (medical) on EX from 2010. At the time my EQ score was 731, TU 711 and EX 681. I have a CU visa reporting for 11 months $155/$1000. Several student loans paid off and one that I am always current on. AAoA is 6.9 and my credit file is 20.9 years. I have seen people with lesser reports than mine getting approved all the time. Heck, my 20 year old daughter was approved for $600 with only a 3 month auto loan history. Chase approved me for the Freedom and Walmart denies me. Go figure! I have have now reached a point where I don't need them and therefore they lost me as a potential customer.

NUMBER OF MONTHS SINCE 30 DAYS PAST DUE ON A CREDIT ACCOUNT IS TOO LOWTOO FEW REVOLVING ACCOUNTSACCOUNTS IN COLLECTION OR 60 DAYS PAST DUE OR ADVERSEPUBLIC RECORDSSUM OF CREDIT LIMITS ACROSS ALL OPEN REVOLVING ACCOUNTS TOOLOW

*** I have nothing reporting 30 days past due on my transunion report.

I DID have only one credit card with a $200 limit - so that makes sense

I have no open accounts in collections - there is a paid collection from 2010 and a paid after CO from 2008.

BUT - I decided to go on an app spree and look at my results!!!

Re: Walmart instant denial :(

hey congrats!! your on your way for sure. Definitely garden lol.. my problem is that gemb loves me tooo much haha.. but no one else does.. its so strange. I fully dont understand a shopping cart trick.. is that a sp cause i cannot get a hp im in the garden myself. i read something on it but im afraid to try lol. do you go to checkout put in credit card info and all that then review screen pops up with offer??

Re: Walmart instant denial :(

Thanks! The first one I tried was Victoria Secret - you have to actually shop - so I picked a few items then went to check out and as soon as I put my name in - the box popped up that said I was Pre-approved for $500 - so I clicked to accept and then all you have to put in is your date of birth and last 4 digits of SSN - so it is a SP - if you apply and put your full SSN it is a hard pull. So be sure it says PRE-approved and only asks for your last four. It is for stores backed by Commenity (not sure if that is spelled right) Bank. It does not work for all stores with Commenity cards though because I wanted a Justice card for my daughter and a New York and company card for myself and I did not get a pop up from them. I got Victoria Secret, Express and Ann Taylor - then decided I better stop. It sets up a credit account instantly and says you can use it right then and there to pay for your order - but if you don't buy anything - it doesn't matter because the account is saved and it says you will get your card in the mail in about 7-10 days. Pretty cool. Someone on here said if you pull your report and see that a business did a SP on your report then you should apply because you probably have a pre-approval waiting. For me - there were no SP's and I still got these popups. So for sure - it must say PRE-approved and only ask for your last 4 digits SSN. Good luck
